When a code packet wins the dispute
§01
Code-required upgrade
AHJ adopted IRC 2021 with HVHZ amendments. The packet shows the binding code; the upgrade requirement is documented.
§02
Permit-trigger surprise
Reroof crosses 25% threshold; permit suddenly required. Packet documents the threshold + local permit requirements.
§03
Manufacturer-spec mismatch
The proposed scope is asphalt; code requires synthetic in HVHZ. Packet cites the code AND the manufacturer's HVHZ-approved product line.
§04
Energy code exemption
Reroof normally triggers IECC R-value upgrade; address qualifies for exemption. Packet documents the exemption with section ref.
§05
Multi-jurisdiction job
Property straddles city/county boundary. Packet handles both with a 'what differs' table.
§06
Litigation backup
Denial appealed. Packet cited in arbitration as authenticated business record.
